John "Minista Zin Uru" Lory from The Temple Of Hip Hop, a educational/political ministry that promotes the positive aspects of hip hop culture and encourages performers to write, and radio stations to play, socially conscious music.

The Temple of Hip Hop was founded by KRS-One, also known as Teacha. The American rapper, lecturer, activist and author, born Lawrence Parker, has published a 800-plus page manifesto that Amazon describes as a philosophical, Bible-like life guide for the hip hop culture. View a video of Lory talking about the book.

Campus sponsors for the event include the International Relations/Global Issues Club, Student Breakdancing Club and the Department of Human Relations and Multicultural Education.
